Abstract

In recent years, the traditional methods of production and management no longer meet the needs of agricultural development in the new era. Family farms, as an important carrier and a new type of business entity for the occupational peasant business incubation, have brought good economic and social benefits, and also pointed out the direction for China's agricultural modernization. This paper systematically reviews the literatures on the entrepreneurial incubator mechanism of professional farmers with family farms as carriers, and combs them into six aspects: entrepreneurship, farmer entrepreneurship, professional farmers, family farms, entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial incubation. Literature review, introduction of connotation and characteristics, clarification of development problems and countermeasures, combing the influencing factors, summarizing the definition of occupational farmers' entrepreneurial incubation mechanism. In the end, in order to improve the success rate of professional farmers' entrepreneurship incubation, we need to make corresponding adjustments or improvements in two aspects. From the perspective of external conditions, the government needs to provide good policy support, financial institutions innovate the rural financial system, vigorously develop rural infrastructure, to create a good entrepreneurial atmosphere. From the internal basis, professional farmers should start from their own, learn the skills required for entrepreneurship, create favorable conditions for the success of entrepreneurial incubation.

    AB  - In recent years, the traditional methods of production and management no longer meet the needs of agricultural development in the new era. Family farms, as an important carrier and a new type of business entity for the occupational peasant business incubation, have brought good economic and social benefits, and also pointed out the direction for China's agricultural modernization. This paper systematically reviews the literatures on the entrepreneurial incubator mechanism of professional farmers with family farms as carriers, and combs them into six aspects: entrepreneurship, farmer entrepreneurship, professional farmers, family farms, entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial incubation. Literature review, introduction of connotation and characteristics, clarification of development problems and countermeasures, combing the influencing factors, summarizing the definition of occupational farmers' entrepreneurial incubation mechanism.

From the perspective of external conditions, the government needs to provide good policy support, financial institutions innovate the rural financial system, vigorously develop rural infrastructure, to create a good entrepreneurial atmosphere.
